Frontier flight 4765, which was scheduled to travel from Denver to Phoenix, was promptly evacuated after the discovery, according to a Frontier Airlines statement Monday.
Passengers were deplaned and rescreened, and a security sweep of the aircraft was conducted. There were no reports of injuries.
“Given the delay, the flight crew exceeded their duty time and thus customers were booked on a new flight for early this morning,” Frontier added.
The flight was then rescheduled and left at 6 a.m. MST Monday. It arrived in Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport at 6:50 a.m.
It is unclear where or how the gun magazine was discovered or whether a passenger physically had the magazine on them.
This comes days after another Frontier plane was evacuated after striking a person on a Denver International Airport runway.
On Friday night, around 11:00 pm, the Frontier flight was preparing to travel to its destination at Los Angeles International Airport before hitting a trespasser.
The passenger jet, carrying roughly 231 people, filled with smoke after the collision, and had evacuated everyone using inflatable evacuation slides.
The person who died has not been identified.
